With regard to complex-shaped tall buildings whose plans and constructions have been gradually on the increase, this study was aimed to analyze their structural behaviors during construction by applications of construction sequences analyses to prototype models. For twisted tall buildings, total 18 models of with three conditions of a lateral load-resisting system, a twisting angle, and a construction method were selected. A diagrid system and a braced tube system were applied as a lateral load-resisting system. For each lateral load-resisting system, three types of plan with $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$, and $2^{\circ}$ twisting angles and three construction methods with construction sequences of exterior tube and interior frame were assumed. The structural performances of tall buildings under constructions were analyzed with results of lateral displacements from construction sequence analyses. Also, construction performances of the construction period and the maximum lift weight were compared.

TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) method is gaining popularity in urban and underwater tunneling projects due to its ability to ensure excavation face stability and minimize environmental impact. Among the prominent models for predicting disc cutter life, the NTNU model uses the Cutter Life Index(CLI) as a key parameter, but the complexity of testing procedures and rarity of equipment make measurement challenging. In this study, CLI was predicted using multiple linear regression analysis and tree-based machine learning techniques, utilizing rock properties. Through literature review, a database including rock uniaxial compressive strength, Brazilian tensile strength, equivalent quartz content, and Cerchar abrasivity index was built, and derived variables were added. The multiple linear regression analysis selected input variables based on statistical significance and multicollinearity, while the machine learning prediction model chose variables based on their importance. Dividing the data into 80% for training and 20% for testing, a comparative analysis of the predictive performance was conducted, and XGBoost was identified as the optimal model. The validity of the multiple linear regression and XGBoost models derived in this study was confirmed by comparing their predictive performance with prior research.

Modular architecture is very important not only in the design phase but also in the construction planning phase because it affects construction methods and module sizes depending on transport equipment. There are economic risks as well as quality, as there may be defects such as internal interiors or elimination of deadlines during transportation, and structural torsion caused by rainfall and shock. However, there is a lack of objective criteria or data to refer to in determining transport equipment that has a material effect on transport. Accordingly, there is no decision model to determine the optimum transportation equipment for each construction site. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a decision support model that can be compared to the review of transport equipment selection factors. The purpose of this study is to propose the transport equipment impact factors and decision support models for systematic review and objective decision making of each construction plan in the construction of small and medium-sized modulators. The decision model proposed in this study can be used as basic data for transport studies, ensuring objectivity and transparency in the equipment selection process.

수역의 유기오염 개선을 위하여 생활하수, 산업폐수 등의 저하시키는데 주안점을 두어왔으나 공공수역에서의 제거되지 않은 질소와 인의 유입으로 부영양화가 진행되어 하천에는 남조류가 대량발생하고 해역에는 적조가 광역에서 발생하여 큰 사회문제가 되고 있고, 질소와 인의 유입으로 인한 자생 COD가 전체COD의 약 절반을 차지하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 앞으로의 수질을 개선하기 위해서는 조류증식의 제한인자인 질소와 인의 규제가 필요할 뿐만아니라 하수처리장에 고차처리를 적용하거나, 해양의 회석자용을 이용한 Ocean을 적용하여 연안해역 수질을 관리해야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 수영만을 대상으로 Ocean Outfall과 폐수처리시절을 적절하게 조합하기 위해서 3차원 생태계모델을 적용하여 유기물질 뿐만 아니라 영양염류인 질소와 인의 농도를 예측하여 환경기준을 만족시키고 비용을 최소화 할 수 있는 폐수처리공법과 해중방류관의 위치를 선정하고자 하였다. 본 연구결과 수영만의 1994년 COD는 II등급, DIN과 DIP는 III등급이었다. 현재의 활성슬러지공법으로 질소와 인을 제거하지 않고 방류할 경우 2001년에 는 하수처리량의 증가로 인해 COD의 경우 1994년 보다 조금 감소하지만 DIN 과 DIP는 1994년과 같은 III등급을 유지하였다. 고도처리공법을 도입할 경우 COD의 농도는 광안리와 해운대해수욕장에서 I등급을 보이고, DIP의 농도도 수영만 전체에서 강등급을 보이지만, DM의 농도는 광안리해수욕장에서 II등급, 해운대해수욕장에서 IH등급을 보였다 하수처리장 유출수를 Ocean Outfall을 이용하여 하수처리장으로부터 4km에 서 방류할 경우의 COD농도는 I등급을 보이고, DE 농도도 광안리와 해운대해 수욕장에서는 I등급을 보이고, DU의 농도는 ll등급을 보여 수질이 개선된 것 을 볼 수 있다. 이상에서와 같이 광안리와 해운대해수욕장의 해역환경기준 ll등급을 만족 하는 하수처리방법은 Ocean Outfall이었다. 수영하수처리장에 인을 처리하기 위한 화학적 침전법의 경우 956억원이 소요되고, 질소를 제거하기 위한 질소제거공정을 추가 건설 할 경우는 2181억원이 전요된다. 그리고 두공정을 같이 건설할 경우에는 3137억원의 비용이 소요된다 수영하수처리장에서 4km 거리와 관경을 2m의 Ocean Outfall 건설비용은 325 억원 정도가 소요되는 것으로 산출되었다. 고차처리시 증가되는 비용으로 건설할 수 있는 Ocean Outfall의 길이는 인 제거공정을 첨가하는 경우에는 18km을 건설할 수 있고, 질소제거공정을 첨가 하는 경우에는 46km를 건설할 수 있는 것으로 산출되었다.

In this study, an electronics industrial wastewater activated sludge model (e-ASM) to be used as a Water Digital Twin was calibrated based on real high-tech electronics industrial wastewater treatment measurements from lab-scale and pilot-scale reactors, and examined for its treatment performance, effluent quality prediction, and optimal process selection. For specialized modeling of a high-tech electronics industrial wastewater treatment system, the kinetic parameters of the e-ASM were identified by a sensitivity analysis and calibrated by the multiple response surface method (MRS). The calibrated e-ASM showed a high compatibility of more than 90% with the experimental data from the lab-scale and pilot-scale processes. Four electronics industrial wastewater treatment processes-MLE, A2/O, 4-stage MLE-MBR, and Bardenpo-MBR-were implemented with the proposed Water Digital Twin to compare their removal efficiencies according to various electronics industrial wastewater characteristics. Bardenpo-MBR stably removed more than 90% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and showed the highest nitrogen removal efficiency. Furthermore, a high concentration of 1,800 mg L^-1 T MAH influent could be 98% removed when the HRT of the Bardenpho-MBR process was more than 3 days. Hence, it is expected that the e-ASM in this study can be used as a Water Digital Twin platform with high compatibility in a variety of situations, including plant optimization, Water AI, and the selection of best available technology (BAT) for a sustainable high-tech electronics industry.

The behavior of the fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) base under environmental loads was analyzed numerically as a fundamental study to develop a high structural and functional performance composite pavement system in which the base was formed using FRC and the asphalt or cement concrete surface was placed on it. A two-dimensional finite element model of the FRC base was developed and the sensitivity study was performed with the variables including slab thickness of base, thermal expansion coefficient, elastic modulus, and tensile and compressive strengths. The crack spacing and crack width were selected as representatives of the base behavior. The effects of the selected variables on the crack spacing and crack width were analyzed and the sensitive variables were determined. The results of this study could be useful to determine the optimal material properties of the FRC base for combining well with the surface materials.

It is not easy to compare the treatment processes and find an optimum operating condition by the experiments due to influent conditions, treatment processes, various operational conditions and complex factors in real wastewater treatment system and also need a lot of time and costs. In this paper, the activated sludge models are applied to four principal biological wastewater treatment processes, $A_2O$(anaerobic/anoxic/oxic process), Bardenpho(4 steps), VIP(Virginia Initiative Plant) and UCT(University of Cape Town), and are used to compare their environmental and economic assessment for four key processes. In order to evaluate each processes, a new assessment index which can compare the efficiency of treatment performances in various processes is proposed, which considers both environmental and economic cost. It shows that the proposed index can be used to select the optimum processes among the candidate treatment processes as well as to find the optimum condition in each process. And it can find the change of economic and environmental index under the changes of influent flowrate and aerobic reaction size and predict the optimum index under various operation conditions.

In order to confirm the effectiveness of the natural river improvement technique, the analysis of vegetation was carried out in Yangjae stream between 1996 and 1998. The results of this study showed the numbers of riparian plants had increased from 41 species to 53 species, and the dominant species had changed from annual and biannual(Humulus japonicus, Persicaria thunbergii, Persicaria hydropiper, Panicum dichotomiflorum, Echinochloa crus-galli) to perennials (Phragmites communis). The variation in biomass and biodiversity index were measured and calculated according to the rehabilitation method. Biomass were varied 302 to $828g/m^2$ and biodiversity index was varied 1.53 to 1.52 at point bar plots(A treatment plots) from 1996 to 1998. In conclusion, the natural river improvement technique which has operated in Yanjaecheon for three years has contributed to restoration of riparian plants. Additionally, subsequent study using this technique should be followed in the near future.
